Mum had their car flogged in Dorkland,cop alone chased,the little coconuts rolled the car,and fled the scene as the copper came upon the scene,cop said could've caught the pricks but the car was in the middle of the road so had to secure the crash site.

Car 2&1/2 hours(230km),easy 1&3/4hour to Hawera(160km)NP 70km further,but Eltham,Stratford,Inglewood towns to slow you down.Waverley about halfway.

Be careful around Stratford-Inglewood if early in morning(8am or so)black ice prevails,also in evening.

obviously a group of triumph riders who had one go on a kwaka and got overly excited about it. Its understandable, albiet a bit odd.

Went for my first flight since Feb today. Headed into the hills behind Shannon and Levin for awhile and had some fun. Magic day for it!

Yes indeed. I'd just been for a fab run round the backroads. Did the same tonight - Opiki, Toko and back. I'm so glad I didn't sell the Daytona now :yes:

A profitable day at home. It's awesome when the kids leave. :clap: One more car gone (although last time it turned up again 2 months later with furniture). I now have space. Caravan now under cover and starting to strip down and started to fit heavy duty accessory socket to bike for GPS and other toys.

Will the weather hold for tomorrow and the Martinborough Ride?

Yes, she keeps giving me baleful looks every time I go into the garage. Sheet over her fixed that tho lol. I'm seriously starting (again) to look into preping the older old girl for a bit of track fun but GSVR keeps telling me I need to spend thousands on Ohlins, new rims and lot's of go faster bits. Hmmm, did I win lotto last night?

The Show Pony (newer old girl) will one day be restored to her former glory and put in a glass cage in my living room where I can Hawaien dance around her to get to the TV :lol:

no No NO NO. Your not going to use me as an excuse for not having a go. Join the Vic Club get your MNZ license then enter the next round. You don't need to do anything except wire up a couple of bits remove the gycol fron the radiator and ad a couple of numbers. Plus get a back protector.

I told you to get an SV and enter in Protwin. Oh thats right then you would have to spend thousands on extras to be competitive!

Considered going out that way but ended up just doing the saddle and track. Even with thermal undergloves on my fingers got very cold. Looked almost like there was ice on the road in some parts of the track.

was there a onboard coffee service and if not how did you get as far as Dunedin??

[86GSXR]

Thanks for the comments :laugh: It was one of those out of the boxes days :sunny: 7 hrs straight flying only stopping for gas. Hoki, yep, time does stand still down there but I noticed a lot of lifestyle blocks have sprung up and there were some pretty flash cars in the park. When I went to pay for my coffee they didn't have eftpos so the kind lady gave it to me. West coast hospitality :yes: Wasn't so lucky in CH or Dunedin though, that's why they call them 'terminal prices' :weep: But the Dunedin latte was bloody good and went down extremely well :yes: (OK then, so I won't claim it for the GC) :laugh:

[ynot slow]

Nope terminal is cause the price of trip is cheap,the coffee and eats kills the trip.

I took two one square meals. Had one in Hoki and the other enroute to Dunedin. I considered a pie in Dunedin but thought bugger that! $$$$$

Yes. But just remember that aeroplanes DON'T have a reserve switch :doh: :shit: :whistle:

Hey Jodi :D Thanks for that, it was a stunning day for it alright! The flight itself was amazing and made even cooler by flying over some of the best biking roads around. Good to see you up and about. We'll have to pop in for a visit soon :yes:

Yeah, I am not about to push my limit or go near my bikes limit on the road to "beat" a whale skyline being poorly driven :Police: Especially when I can't see oncoming damp patches on the track, which we all know tend to linger on foggy days. Put it on the real track and we shall see [I will get my arse handed to me :doh:]

[cowboyz]

one of the best runs we had over the track was a V8 Vs IL4 Vs IL3 Vs V twin. It was mint as no one embarassed themselves and the kid in the car had a huge smile as some front tread saving was exercised.

Its a great road but has to be watched carefully. 86 and I had an awesome run over it the other day at 99km/hr and coming back 20 minutes later after a shower of rain the bikes were all over the place and we didnt manage much more than 70. Chalk and cheese conditions in a very small space of time.

It gets dodgy very quickly over that great road :blank: I absolutely love getting a good run over there, when I was commuting to palmy it was absolutely awesome :first: But with my poo front rubber I can't get a good fast run. Shame to see a few dirty holes in the road on a nice corner up from the look out.

[86GSXR]

I LOVE that road, despite having written off one bike, putting myself in hospital, and then enduring a painful recovery. It must be good eh :niceone:

the saddle is one of my all time favourites. Pretty much because it is right on my doorstep. got about 200000 stories of slides on it though. Need to keep the wits about ya.

Vhill is iconic but is over a little too soon.

I have been told it is best avoiding tank slappers. My pelvis told me when it broke on the fence :doh:

You were told right lol. Wish my bike had heard that as well :laugh: Broken bits are no fun :doh: It's fun when they heal though. Apiti loop has to be an all time favourite!

Yeah no kidding lol I was going far to fast for some corrugations on my ole bros650 and slap slap highside, learn to fly, splat ouch basically. Put a big dent in the tank with my wrist and decided to put my face through the instrument cluster before flying/rag dolling. :spanking::spanking::spanking:

IMPORTANT NOTICE


RE: SWINE FLU




As you were advised through an earlier Department advisory letter, there is a distinct possibility of an outbreak and epidemic of Swine Flu in this country.



To facilitate identification and in order that you may be on the alert for indications that you or members of your family may have contracted the virus, you should be aware of the following symptoms:



1. Sore throat



2. Persistent slight headache



3. Nausea or upset stomach



4. An uncontrollable urge to have sex in the mud ..
:rolleyes::drool:

[86GSXR]

Funnily enough, the last time I rode in snow was through Rangiwahia. It seems I don't have swine flu though as I don't have a sore throat, a headache, or nausea - whew.

I bumped into Bonez at the Red Cross Book Fair about a couple of weeks ago. It's just his bikes that are hibinating at the moment.

He certainly was. Like I had to swing off the fj1200 to get it to lean, my 50kg and puny arms don't do much :argh: I was giving it the ole heave ho on the bars and still thought it was taking 10 years to drop in, so, I sat back and had toast and coffee ;)

[slydesigns]

Ok Meanie... I concede the point.

I finally understand the point of your battlestar Concours and its oh so F$%king useful pannier system!

After you saw us in the Plaza, Maria decided, in typical female fashion to go on a spending spree and load us up with double what we could carry on the bikes. Shoes, a plastic rubbish bin, towels - mega large and small, a new jacket, tights and shirt thing - dont ask, womens clothes baffle me. Add to this the 2 backpacks full of stuff we already had and it made for an interesting logistics exercise ferrying stuff back to the apartment!

On the bright side, she's taking the D675 out for her first solo run on it tomorrow, so I may yet get the opportunitiy to upgrade it shortly...lol

I always knew while you were giving me stick about the size of the connie you realy wanted one, give in mate and do it
Hope you changed that rear tyre before you let Maria out on it, went past and had a gander it looks a little like Bandit riders tyre on the way back from our coro loop, east cape ride, F****d

Hey guys, I aint spent much time online of late cos I have to use cyber cafes...But I am back down home now and it is good. Had a real rough crossing on sunday 31st, waves were huge....was a 1 o'clock sailing, and it took 4 1/2 hours to cross...Was snowing in the sounds andf also going out of Blenheim thru to L. Grassmere...heaps of slush on the Kaikoura Rd...
Been back for a week and am already feeling better...Had a great night on Friday night catching up with KBers down here, and was good to see Selwyn and Gareth too...met a lovely lady there that has helped me through this weekend...:spanking:...nuff said on that front (p.s, dont tell unohoo), but it is all good, and I look foward to seeing you all at the cold duck next year....

Hope you changed that rear tyre before you let Maria out on it,

She rode after you saw Lance swearing changing my rear. The old Supercorsa Pro is 10 times the tyre of that Diablo, even worn!!

She did really well on the 675 too!

[slydesigns]

Going test riding tonight with Mariazinha and her potential new 02 Aprilia RS250... The thought of her in that weapon, 50% scary/50% exciting!

[KiwiKat]

It will be nice to see you two out riding tandem.:2thumbsup I hope the ride goes well, it's :cold: out there.

I can't wait for the next instalment - Sly, the pillion.

[slydesigns]

Went well. She was yaahooing almost as loud as when she rode the 675, after getting over the 2 stroke powerband shock! That thing pulls way hard from 9000rpm on up! She was scarily good on it too!


It will be nice to see you two out riding tandem.:2thumbsup I hope the ride goes well, it's :cold: out there.

We ride every couple od days together on 2 bikes after work and on the weekends, so nothing new there.





I can't wait for the next instalment - Sly, the pillion.

As for being a pillion on a 2 stroke... ahhh no. Not just yet. The Aprilia has a solid rear sloping plastic seat to discourage anyone even THINKING about getting on the back.

Ever.

And a modded exhaust would go down well too :yes: Hmmmm yes, they do have a huge span, and fast. 180 HP, CSU, 135 - 140 KIAS, all composite, no rivets, winglets, and you can easily get your arm around the tail section - so slippery as heck! :niceone:

[banditrider]

The first two have arrived! Wow, very nice wee beasties. Really slippery and fast by all accounts, can't wait to have a go. The challenge will be learning how to operate the computers, but quite user friendly apparantly. Not many 'round dials' in sight and thank god for those sticks! Looking forward to my first pootle. The twin version should be amazing :yes:

What no HUD? How are you supposed to pretend to be Tom Cruise?






(Didn't spot a latte machine either...)

Yeah, but all that is useless if it can't fly with the door open. How else are you supposed to get out?:msn-wink:

New's flash: A dude at work's missus won the Te Manawa bike give-a-way competition and they have the option of either a 650 Ninja or Versus. They're probably leaning towards the Ninja and will more than likely sell. So if anyone is after a brand new 650 at a better than new price...

The deal is being done on Monday so if you are keen at all let me know as they are leaning towards the ninja as it will probably sell better. No idea what sort of money they'll want but hey if they're hungry for cash...

[NZsarge]

[cowboyz]

im outside all the time...i just don't like being seen near green things

Sorry cowboyz, but the time changed slightly. We arrived just before 5.00pm, but had a good chat over 3 hours and 2 coffees.:yes:

Yeah .. Ahem.. I'll have to put my hand up and say that'd be my fault, sorry 'bout that chief, no excuse but tardyness runs in the family blah blah.....:whistle:

[cowboyz]

you are not on a yamaha any more! Things like being late on a yamaha is understandable but being late on a kwaka?? tsk tsk tsk.....

Yeah thanks but they are probably better not to count me in as much as I would love to. I really need to make a good decision rather than a spear of the moment one, thanks for thinking of me. I'm a shocker for impulse buying and my wife will probably divorce me if I said I was getting a new bike at the moment. It was o.k. for me to spend $25,000 on a new car for her, ..... but.:2guns:

I want to get my full in 3months time and stend some time trying a few out and go from there. The ninja is probably their best bet for resale.

You tell him cowboyz!:nono:

Oh by the way, he was in a car.:laugh:
